Story
Odin has been staying with my parents but they are not able to take care of him properly and I am not able to have him where I live nor am I able to take care of him properly. If you are adventurer and like to be active he’s a great companion who loves walks and nature. He’s a big swimmer and loves to get his paws wet. He’s a very sweet boy who loves kisses and cuddles. He’s full of happy energy and deserves a better life. He loves people but is a little scared of children, would not consider of you have small kids. Adoption fee can be negotiated.

Story
Cookie here! I came to HSMC to find a new home. Unfortunately I wasn`t getting along with one of the dogs in my previous home and I think I would prefer to be the only animal in the home. Which I think would be pretty great, because think of all that attention and it is all on ME, the star of the show. Once I am comfortable with my people I am incredibly sweet and affectionate. I am playful, energetic, love my toys and spending time with my people. Do you think you have the right home for me to fit into?

Story
Meet Deputy — a shepherd puppy with a big personality packed into a tiny body. He’s curious about everything the world has to offer, always eager to explore, and just mischievous enough to keep you smiling. This little guy is affectionate and playful, equally happy zooming around with his dog friends or curling up for cuddles when playtime winds down. Deputy is a smart pup who is eager to learn, and he’s highly food motivated, which makes training fun and rewarding for him. He’s already working on his potty training and does well going outside when he’s taken out regularly—he’s catching on quickly! Deputy loves making new friends and seems to charm just about everyone he meets. He loves kids and does well with them, making him a great candidate for a family companion. He enjoys playing with other dogs and is curious about the resident cats, often watching them with interest. In return, Deputy promises a lifetime of laughter, love, and plenty of snuggles. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick who will grow into an amazing companion, Deputy may be your Pawfect Match!   Deputy is eligible for our Puppy Starter Package, included in his adoption fee. New puppy parents will go home with a small bag of puppy food, martingale collar, leash, a small Mumbies chew, and puppy treats — everything you need to start off with success from day one.   All of our animals reside in loving foster homes until they are adopted into their perfect match. If you are interested in meeting this animal, please complete an adoption application on our website: https://www.BestPawsRescue.com   Spay/Neuter PolicyAny animal that has not been spayed or neutered at the time of adoption will require a signed Spay/Neuter Agreement and a refundable $100 deposit (payable by check or electronic payment). The procedure must be completed within six (6) months of the adoption date. Once Best Paws Rescue receives acceptable proof of the spay/neuter procedure, the deposit will be refunded to the adopter.Failure to comply with the terms of the Spay/Neuter Agreement within the required six (6) months will result in forfeiture of the deposit. If the procedure is performed by one of Best Paws Rescue’s approved veterinary partners, the full cost of the spay/neuter is covered by the adoption fee. Ages and breeds are our best estimates, and we cannot make any guarantees. Most of our animals come from overcrowded shelters with limited resources. We do our best to evaluate each animal’s behavior and medical needs and place them into loving foster homes until they are ready to go home with you. Our organization is operated entirely by dedicated volunteers who give their time and love out of the goodness of their hearts. ##2621170##
